Further applications of this dual-topological Pomeron has been carried out in recent years [1]}. Effects beyond the single Pomeron exchange have also been discussed[2]}. Future developments and challenges undoubtedly await, e.g., the recent reported observation of the Odderon [3]} requires further clarification from a string-dual perspective [4]}. Similarly, the influence of the pion mass on the total and elastic cross sections has also been raised in the context of the topological Pomeron [5]}. More intriguingly, can the value of the Pomeron intercept be fixed by the bootstrap?
